If it was only that data, it would be relatively innocuous. But they could store anything in there. Maybe they already do, who's going to trust HP anyway?

I kind of understand their idea of being open,but this only works for some companies, and definitely not those with decades of fucking with and abusing their customers. HP is managed by idiots.
